Winston Churchill and his two fingers in shape
of "V" was VICTORY, not peace. He figured the
best end to the war was victory. I'm pleased
the US stepped in to help, it was a rough go
for the English.

Some people (or countries) seem to get mixed up here. Your middle
finger, your palm towards yourself, is telling someone to **** off.
Your first two fingers, palm towards you, is victory. Your first two
fingers, palm away from you, is peace.

You've got basic sign language down.

The middle finger is also used to mean "your driving is a piece of ****".

Did you know it was the french who first used the middle finger as an
insult?

I did not.
